We had goat biryani, chicken chapli kebab, and kebab karahi with chapati. Every dish tasted unbelievably good, each with its own distinctive flavor. The chapli kebab had a smoky, crispy exterior with juicy minced meat inside. The biryani was undoubtedly one of the best I have ever had; both the rice and the meat were rich with aroma and spices. The kebab karahi stood out with its unique blend of bold ginger and tomato flavors. Truly Pakistani food at its best.

I had a great experience at Darbar. The food was amazing. I tried the pani puri and it was honestly so good, full of flavor and very fresh. I also loved the way it was served, everything felt well presented and thoughtful.
After that, I tried the noodles and their special kebab karahi. Both were very delicious and cooked perfectly. The kebab karahi especially stood out with its rich taste and aroma.

Food was delicious! Had a good amount of variety, and the staff were very attentive. We went for their Saturday buffet. They brought out fresh naan and puri for us. Would definitely go back again

I had such a wonderful experience here! The food was absolutely delicious, served hot, fresh, and bursting with authentic Pakistani flavors. Every dish tasted homemade in the best way, and you can really tell the care that goes into the cooking. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for genuine, flavorful Pakistani cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I really enjoyed the kebabs I got shaami kebab as well as sheekh kebab! The chicken Tikka masala was good, the chicken pulau was very good the chicken in it was tender and delicious. The naan was good except for the cheese naan was not good there was hardly any cheese and all you could taste was the naan bread not the cheese. Overall the meal was very good.
On a separate order a few weeks later we ordered the shami kebabs again and there was a ton of egg on them like omelette covered kebabs. Please don’t add so much egg.

This place was absolutely incredible. The food tasted unbelievably fresh, and the meat was perfectly tender and full of flavor. Every bite was packed with amazing, well-balanced flavors that you can tell were made with care. The hospitality truly stood out — the owners are so loving and kind, and they make you feel genuinely welcomed from the moment you walk in. You can really feel the heart behind everything they do. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely be coming back!

This is a small, family-run restaurant, and I was lucky to get a comfortable booth, which I appreciated. I tried the Sunday buffet ($25.99), which is the only Pakistani buffet I’ve come across in the Boston area. The food was hot and fresh, with dishes like chicken pulao (note: this is the rice included — plain basmati rice is not part of the buffet, so vegetarians or those avoiding chicken may be charged extra), chicken achar, chicken tikka, dal, chana, naan, halwa, rice pudding, and beef keema with potatoes that I especially enjoyed. There was also a goat dish, though I skipped it since I’m not a fan of goat. The chicken achar had great flavor, while the chicken tikka came in very small pieces. The naan was good, though simpler than the butter or garlic naan I’m used to at Indian restaurants.
I appreciated that they put a pitcher of water on my table so I could refill myself, but no one came by during the meal until the very end — after 3:00 p.m., when they were shutting down the buffet. That was the first time I was asked if I wanted anything more. When I asked about drinks, I was told I could choose something from the refrigerator. I was surprised there was no drink menu or options like mango lassi, chai, or sauces such as cilantro or tamarind chutney, which I normally see at Indian buffets.
At the end, I had a very small amount of leftovers and offered to pay to take them home. I was surprised at first by the $7.99 box charge, but they also gave me a $4.74 discount on the buffet without me asking, so it evened out to about $3.25. In the end, that felt fair. I also paid in cash, knowing this is a small operation, which I didn’t mind.
Because this was a $25.99 weekend buffet, I initially expected a little more variety, especially compared to Indian buffets in the $19.99 range. But at the same time, when I think about what I’ve paid for a fine dining tasting, $25.99 feels fair for what was offered. Overall, I’d call it a 3.5-star experience but I’m rounding up to 4. If you live or work nearby, it’s worth stopping by to try. Just be aware that the selection is limited for a weekend buffet, and the service is minimal, so I wouldn’t call it destination dining from downtown Boston — but I’m glad I experienced it once.

Friendly staff & Food was tasty. Ambiance can be better. Price for Iftar buffet was very high ( $32 tax included ) I have never seen that high price even at high end restaurants.

After moving from New York City to Boston, my wife and I struggled to find truly exceptional Desi food until we discovered Darbar in Allston. From the first bite, the flavors transported me back to the food I grew up on, rich, balanced, and remarkably fresh. Every dish is prepared with care and authenticity, never diluted or rushed. The owner and his wife are gracious and genuinely hospitable, making each visit feel personal and welcoming. With Ramadan approaching, there is no better place to gather with family and friends. Darbar is a true gem.
